Lots of dudes compliment it. Always ask if it is AWD.

Got my first compliment from a girl a week ago. And by girl I mean a sweet old lady--someone's grandma, no doubt.

"Cute car," she said.

Cute. For shame.

I overheard half a conversation the other day - started by a (male) teenager I think gesturing in the general direction of the car (I'd just parked and was crossing the street toward them,) mom responded something like "It looks great on the outside" and some mumbled response from dad as we walked by... So no idea what they were saying, really. The conversation seemed vaguely heated as I glanced back...

On the other hand, someone co-drove a couple weeks ago and the first thing he said when he got out was "That was FUN!" - followed by "Really makes me want to go home and finish fixing the 'vette."

Small persons, as in, the making of?

Lots of room back there. I can sit (knees against the seat) behind the drivers seat when it's where I keep it for the ride to/from events... or the occasional road-trip with my wife.

I doubt you'd fit a train in the back seat though. Depends on the scale I guess? And if it has anything to do with small person making, I think the train usually ends up derailed and distracted pretty quickly.

A young female coworker once asked "wow is that like a racecar?" while a number of others have remarked that it is a great looking car. The guys at school (went back to B-school) invariably think it's super cool, and more expensive than it is...

I just had two girls ask if this was a Ferrari. I told them both to hop in and find out. After sawing off their legs to fit them in the back I showed them what this car was all about. My prius tires screeched as all 160rwhp was put to the ground. The girls were screaming for me to stop because they couldn't handle all the torque. They were so amazed by my awesome car that they came back to my place and spent the night (after sewing their legs back on). After I dropped them off I ran into Bill Gates on the street who offered to buy my FRS for 34 million dollars. I told him to eff of as there was no way I was getting rid of this rare supercar. I wish I could say incidents like these were rare but they happen on a daily basis. #Supercarproblems.

I was driving to willow springs and on the main road going up these kids were giving me the thumbs up saying "cool car man" considering there were lambos, Ferraris, GTR's, lotuses and a couple of sick Porsches all over the place. I'll take that compliment lol Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438106245.409659.jpg

Just had a guy on a sportbike roll up beside me at a stop sign (I had my windows down) and say "Hey! That is the most beautiful Subaru I've ever seen!"

And then a man showed up, handed you a $100% dollar bill, and began a slow clap. That slow clap erupted into thunderous applause from all within a 10 mile radius. That man's name? Albert Einstein.

Latest reactions I got hmmm..

Last week a homeless guy next to a walmart said "sick ride yo" to me as I was parking.

And then at a gas station this lady asked me if I hit the floor a lot when exiting plazas with inclines (my cars stock height).

Don't really get much reactions from people. It's a common car here.
